they have the ones from Germany
The ARtem ComCard is what I'm using - [link|http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0702H/vnewsf4.htm|here's] a review I did for VOICE. Besides downloading an updated driver, there were a couple settings I had to change to make it work.
I saw you asking about Linux support too - I didn't have any luck with it under Red Hat, but it works well with SuSE. Added bonus, SuSE still recognized HPFS partitions, Red Hat doesn't anymore.

His website is a little confusing. :)
But from what I gather, he has wireless laptop cards available, not sure if he has the ones for tower PCs. I was kinda hoping OS/2 driver support had expanded to include the eight dot whatever eleven standard, so I could just pick a few up at CompUSA. Oh well. I don't *mind* doing it the hard way, it's just, you know, the whole instant gratification denied thing.

You gotta realise that 802.11x
doesn't address the issue of what's in the card at all, any more than there can be a generic driver for any AC97 sound chip. It just addresses the issue of the communication between the nic and the base station.
Each model of card (or at least each chipset) will still require an individual driver for it.
If you want, Derek has a 1800 number you can call, and he's definitely one of the good guys. Give him a shout and explain what you're looking for and maybe he'll have it or some advice on where to get it.
I thought you were looking for a pcmcia card, not one for a desktop...

In the best of all worlds, both.
One for my laptop, one for my eCS workstation, which is now out of storage (yay!). I've come up with a potential workaround -- Linksys sells this thing which "converts" a standard ethernet card to a by-God-wireless just by plugging an ethernet cable into it, which would allow me to use relatively short ethernet cable and not have to worry about threading it all over creation.

Linksys product link?
Which one is that? That sounds like an ideal solution to the issue.

That's the one.
It costs about $120 at CompUSA.

ARtem has an ISA version
[link|http://www.artem.de/cgi-bin/produkte/produkte.py?PROD_ID=1273&SPR_ID=2|ComCard-ISA] - as you can see in the photo, it's just the PCMCIA card with an ISA PCMCIA card.
They sell a PCI version too, but they don't have OS/2 drivers for the PCI PCMCIA adapter, only for the ISA one.
